Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereโs a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need ๐ช๐ฐ๐ช
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility

Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being โdifferentโ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples โ too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldnโt get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), Iโd be eating the vegetables.
